I am feeling pretty excited. You have several of my favorite books here. So, I plan to check out the ones I haven't read yet. I have a feeling I will like them - considering how well our tastes seem to match.
Great list. I actually bought one of those Cue Cat things at Library Thing and have been scanning in all my books. I always used to play librarian growing up - now I can play one at home.
I haven't read several on your list but I am going to use this list to go from.
Thanks.
I have never met anyone else but my sister and me that love Willa Cathers!
thanks for your list, you have some choices I am going to have to check on. :)
You have a lot of great books on here! Sadly I haven't read much since my first was born, bit I have read a few of these before that.
Love The Great Divorce and The Screwtape Letters, also to Kill A Mockingbird. Have you read Chaim Potoks "I am Asher Lev"? I liked that as well.
Oh, The Giver is an absolutely FANTASTIC book! I am so looking forward to when my children will be old enough to read it.
I'm so happy to see Peter Mayle's books on your list! I just love all his books. I often mention him when asked about books I love to read and people look at me not sure who I'm talking about! :)
Ah, Susan, I came investigating photography stuff a bit, and found Hind's Feet on High Places on your list. LOVE that book! Others by Hannah Hurnard as well.
